Local business pitches in for families in need

A SUNSHINE Coast family-owned business has jumped on board to contribute to a vital community project.

The team at Neumann Steel were excited to donate the reinforcing steel for the slab of The House The Coast Built - the first step to building a home away from home for families with loved-ones in hospital.

Calling the Coast home for more than 20 years, Neumann Steel are proud to be part of a community that look after each other, especially when times get tough.

Neumann Steel sales representative Josh Townsend said the team was happy to be one of the trades and suppliers helping out with the six-bedroom accommodation project at Birtinya.

"We've all had family in hospital at different stages of life and understand the importance of having somewhere to stay and the impact it will have on families,” he said.

"We have several locations across southeast Queensland and each one strives to help out in their own community - supporting important local causes like The House The Coast Built.”

Neumann Steel joined more than 30 Sunshine Coast businesses and their employees have come together to help Wishlist and Ausmar Homes build a legacy to help thousands of families through a tough time.
